“…However, the benefits of responsible products are often poorly communicated to consumers, so that they are unable to make informed purchasing decisions. Our study confirms the results from different researches that have already shown the distrust in the certification body or the governmental control systems, particularly in Europe after some consecutive food safety crises (Jensen and Sandoe 2002;Nilsson et al 2004). As a consequence, according to Vermiere and Verbeke (2008), the consumers, who are not confident about logos, labels or claimed product availability, are not inclined to translating their positive attitude into a behavioural intention.…”

“…Outros princípios utilizados (68%) são: (i) Investimento em pesquisa e inovação sobre práticas de sustentabilidade na produção (Hallstedt et al, 2013); e (ii) Indicador de custo operacional devido à compra de produtos com selo verde para avaliar o valor agregado do produto ecológico (Nilsson et al, 2004). Esse resultado indica que, ao mesmo tempo que as organizações investem em pesquisa e inovação sobre práticas de sustentabilidade na produção, há a preocupação com o custo da substituição de insumos e investimentos.…”
